Subject: Re: hard disk failure
yipee! 'mount -o sb=131072 /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1' mounted the drive and I can
now browse the folders. So, how do I copy the backup superblock to the
primary superblock? Time to google this...

so while trying to fix it I found out what the problem really is with
debugfs There is a bad magic number in the original super-block... back to
google.... I've been googling since 2:00! Can anyone helP?
